Wake on time

Hello everyone,

I plan to let my Espruino wake up on a specific alarm time. In the meantime the board should be ideally in deep sleep mode.

Is there a better way to realize that instead of waking the board by an interval to check the time frequently?

Maybe there could be a feature "setWatchTime" in the future.

Best,

Tobias

Why not use setTimeout()?

You mean to calculate the milliseconds to be in sleep mode until the next alarm comes up? Could be an idea.

Yes, that'd be what I'd suggest. It should be really easy to do - simplest is just (timeToWake-getTime())/1000
